* Writing
in the Yale Law Review, J.P. Bullington observes that
“[t]he most striking feature about this work is the method of
treatment—quite the most effective which has yet been employed
in dealing with the subject. Believing that the changes in international
law have been the reflection of changes in the political theory
and practice of states, the author has divided his work into
three major periods—the Age of the Prince, the Age of the Judge,
and the Age of the Concert... Based on a wide knowledge of history
filtered through an objective and realistic brain, this book
must take its place as one of the most valuable contributions
to the history of international law.”

of first edition. Fullerton [1865-1945] was an American journalist
who lived in Paris. A well-traveled, sophisticated man, he was respected for
his penetrating insights and graceful prose. Problems of
Power, his finest work, argues that international law and
Realpolitik lost their hold on the conduct of international
relations around 1870. Contemporary affairs since then were
determined by a fear of political weakness resulting from cultural
and spiritual decline. Written just before the outbreak of World
War I, this book offers more than historical interest. Fullerton’s
argument that this fear was provoked by the global economy,
and that it encouraged nationalism, protective economic measures
and a fervent desire to repel foreign cultures, remains relevant
today.

* This
book will be of interest to historians and researchers as well
as attorneys who require a background in precedents of international
public administration. It presents a thorough study of immunities
and privileges enjoyed by international officials, with specific
emphasis on the experience of the League of Nations, whose officials
benefited from very broad immunities and privileges under the
league’s charter. The final chapter examines modifications in
arrangements and concepts that have taken place since 1920.

* Surveys
the League’s components and the role of its chief associated
bodies, the International Court of Justice and the International
Labor Organization. Other sections consider its approach to
open and secret diplomacy, the ratification of conventions and
the function of related technical organizations. The author,
though enthusiastic about the League, appreciates the weaknesses
in its charter and organization. These flaws are not inherent
in the League, he argues; they are a consequence of its reliance
on prior international law, which is plagued by weakness and
ambiguity. With an appendix.

* An authoritative
survey of significant international courts and tribunals over
the last 150 years, beginning with a brief history from the
American-British Treaty of 1794 to the time of publication.
The work goes on to offer a constructive analysis of the place
of tribunals in problems of world affairs, with an emphasis
on their organization, operation, function as well as a critical
examination of the merits and defects. Hudson concludes with his recommendations for the future as to
the continuance of the Permanent Court of International Justice
and the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

of the first English edition published in 1923 under the auspices
of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. With an introduction
by James Brown Scott. This important study was written during
the First World War, and it was one of the first to propose
a league of nations. Nippold, a German jurist who lived in Switzerland,
argues that the First World War created a need for a radical
reinterpretation of the law of war. Modern war cannot be given
the character of a legal institution because it is really a
negation of law. War is not an element of international law,
he concludes; it is self-help on the part of the aggressor nation.
In his International Law, C.G. Fenwick stated that this book
would be an essential addition to a working library of international
law. Fenwick, International Law (3rd edition) xxv-l cited

* A trenchant
analysis of the League of Nations by one of the leading legal
scholars of the day. Divided into two parts, the work begins
with a general history of international relations since the
Middle Ages. Other chapters examine earlier methods of international
arbitration, the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907 and
preliminary developments in the early 1900s that would later
influence the league’s character. Additional topics include
the Congress of Vienna and the Alabama case. The second part
examines the establishment of the league, then proceeds to article-by-article
commentary of its charter (or Covenant). Pollock also includes
an appendix containing the texts of source materials and early
drafts of the charter.
